Embedded devices/hardware and hardware/software integration
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate can work with a complex system involving:
Windows + Linux containers + VMs + embedded devices + industrial networks
and independently understand the architecture, identify risks, design the test strategy and reusable environment, automate testing through CI/CD, and diagnose failures across system boundaries.
For this senior role, system-level engineering, test architecture, automation, and troubleshooting capability are more important than familiarity with any single tool or framework.
Building a cleaner, smarter future takes all kinds of minds: the curious, the courageous, and the creative. That's why we welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences.
